hello
any advice much appreciated!! increasingly often nowadays when i click on links which open another tab (eg when i'm on mse grabbit or competitions site), i find my computer freezes as the new tab tries to load. to the bottom left of the page trying to open i often get this:
waiting for google-analytics.com
sometimes the whole comuter freezes for up to a minute as this new tab tries to load and i cannot unfreeze it by, say, pressing escape button.
i use firefox and google is my homepage. i run malawarebytes and windows defender and neither show any spyware or nasties.
can you tell me why this freeze is occuring and is their a solution?
thanks in advance and best wishes
